Sergio Aguero Eliminated in 19th Place ($88,506)

Livello 21 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Everybody crowded around Sergio Aguero when Johannes Straver asked him for his last 700,000 chips on a K♥A♦7♠10♦5♥ board.

At the beginning of the hand, Straver opened from the hijack, and Aguero defended in the big blind.

On the flop, Aguero called a continuation bet of 150,000, then a second barrel of 300,000 on the turn. On the river, Straver bet more than Aguero's stack, putting the soccer player into the tank.

Aguero thought about his decision for 4 minutes. He seemed like he didn't know what to do. But in the last seconds, his decision was made, and he called.

Sergio Aguero: K♠2♣
Johannes Straver: A♣8♣

Aguero tried to hero call with a pair of kings. However, Straver had the ace and won the hand. Aguero joined his emphatic rail and left in 19th place for $88,506.

Wittmeyer Puts Schindler in the Bin

Livello 21 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

With a flop of A♠10♥6♦ and about 750,000 chips already in the middle, Jake Schindler check-raised a bet of 200,000 to 500,000 from Brandon Wittmeyer. Wittmeyer made the call.

The Q♦ peeled off on the turn, and Schindler slowed down with a check. Wittmeyer fired a bet of 800,000 and Schindler called.

When the 9♣ completed the board, Schindler checked once again before Wittmeyer pushed forward two stacks of greens for a bet of 1,000,000. Schindler went deep into the tank, using seven time banks, and eventually pitched his cards into the muck.
